What's different about roofs in Hinsdale
Hinsdale's 44" of annual rainfall creates real conditions for moss and algae growth, especially on north-facing or shaded roof sections — algae-resistant shingles and more frequent inspections are worth considering here. Average lows down to 34°F bring real freeze-thaw risk here, and ice dams become a genuine concern where snow accumulates and refreezes at the eaves — proper attic ventilation and insulation matter as much as the roofing material itself.
Hinsdale's temperature range doesn't impose the kind of seasonal sealing or safety constraints seen in more extreme climates, so roofing work can generally be scheduled with more flexibility here than in places with harsher winters or summers.
Algae-resistant architectural shingles or standing seam metal (metal typically lasting 40-70 years in New Hampshire) tend to outperform standard 3-tab asphalt given Hinsdale's 44" of annual rainfall, since both shed water well and resist moss/algae growth better.
